CELEBRATION OF THE ANNIvERsARY
OF THE BATTLE OF NEW MARKETING
Cadets of the V. NJ, 1. on Monday last
celebrated the anniversary of the battle of
Newmarket, in which SO many of their
number fell. Gen. F. H. Smith, the Su-
perintendent, extended an invitation to
Capt. T. G. Morton of Staunton, who was
in the same engagement and witnessed the
gallantry of the cadets, to deliver the ad-
dress at this anniversary celebration, but
on that day he was in Alabama and could
not accept. 1t was. doubtless, from the
fact of Capt. M. IS former connection with
this journal. that our contemporary of the
Lexington Gazette" fell into the error
Saturday of announcing that the address
would be delivered Monday by the editor
of the VINDICATOR.

GOOD CONDUCT.

What better thing can be said of persons
than to say that their conduct is approved
by all? We need not tell persons who we
are; they can tell themselves by our ways
and actions. Day by day, our friends, our
acquaintance, and also strangers are
: watching US. judging by our conduct what
kind of men and women we are going to
be. Therefore in youth we should try to
improve each shining hour. For what
we learn in our youth grows up with us,
and in time it becomes part of the mind
ITSELF Good manners and good behavior
go to shape our moral character. We must
rightly conduct ourselves if we hope to be
respected. Let US then be more careful,
and try to use good manners to all; our
conduct IN the future will prove what we
have been during our school days. Each
day there is something new to be learned.
Then it behooves us to try to do better
each day we live.

BIRDS.


Birds are inhabitants of the air, and
have two wings with which they fly from
one place to another. They generally eat
worms, ants, spiders and many other small
insects that crawl about the bark of trees.
Some birds will eat corn, wheat and other
grain. Birds that live in deserts rarely
ever have anything better than coarse
twigs and leaves to eat. The eagle is call
ed the king of birds. 1t will 60 many
miles in search of fish. Eagles are seen
along the shores and cliffs CT large lakes
and rivers. They are found in nearly all
parts of Europe, and are also met with III
North and South America. Large eagles
will sometimes attack men. They eat the
fix sh of animals which they slaY them
selves. Owls cannot fly very we'll In the
daylight. for it blinds them and they will
strike their heads against trees. Birds
have feathers of various colors.

wealth Attorney Decided
Every now and then the question Is
sprung whether the Commonwealth At
torney Of Augusta county can reside in
Staunton, and whether the city Of Staun-
ton has a right to vote for Circuit Clerk
and County Sheriff. All the custom, and
the decisions, if there have been any, have.
we believe, been In the affirmative of these
propositions. This week, in view of opinions
expressed by the Attorney General Of the
State en- the first question named. Senator
Koiner introduced in the Senate a bill to
amend and re-enact section l of an act
prescribing the duties, powers, and liabil-
tiles and compensation OF certain county
officers, providing for the collection of
taxes. and for the repeal of chapters 81
and 46 of the Code of 1878, approved March
%, 1875, as amended &C., &C." The object
of the bill is to set at rest the right of the
Common wealth's Attorney to reside with
in the city limits. 1t has passed both
houses of the legislature and been signed
by the Governor and the matter is now
definitely settled that resident of the
city Is eligible to the Office Of Common
wealth $ Attorney for Augusta county.

certainly all that under Chapman john

Touching Letter from Soldiers Son.

has received a letter with ST. subscrip-
ton from the son Of Georgia soldier. In
Virginia. where, it being the battle field,
it was comparatively easy for Virginia
families to find and care for their dead.
we have hardly realized how many resting
places of Confederate soldiers are unknown
even to their families. Lately Mr.. Olivier
addressed to all the Southern papers, for
publication, lists of the dead of the South
ern States now in the soldiers cemetery
here. One OF the results of that publica-
tion is the following very touching letter:
BUENA VISTA, GA, May Z.
Dear Sir:

are doing in erecting monument to the Con-
federate dead in Thornrose Cemetery, pub
lished in the Atlanta Constitution" see in

of the 18th Ga. regiment. never knew where
my father was buried before and did not
think I ever would know, believing that he
was buried on some battle field-where, no
one knew. feel proud to know that he died
in defense of his country, and thank God it
was his lot when he died to fall into the
hands of a warm-hearted people who had a
high regard for the Confederate dead.
My father went to the war when I was
twelve months old and never came back any
more. My mother died when I was at the
age of seven, and if it had not been for the
kindness of my uncle I would have suffered.
thank God that have the opportunity of
contributing for the care of my dear fathers
remains. I send you one dollar; that is as
much as I am able to give now. I am poor
will help you after awhile if it is needed.
Please let me know how you have fixed the
graves.
You have my highest regard, and if you
are not rewarded in this world I am sure you
will be in the world to come.

FRIENDSHIP.

FRIENDSHIP.
The world is SO full of selhshness that
true friendship is hard to be found. True
friendship carries sunshine wherever it
goes. We can do a great deal to make the
wretched feel happy, if we would only car
ry sunshine with US. We ought to be
good to our friends while we are with
them, because we do not know how much
we love them until they die. A poor old
man with no one to love him is one OF the
most pitiful pictures that could be looked
upon. No one can be happy without
friends, and no one can know what friends
he has until he is unhappy.
